[Pkg-grass-general] I love this

[Fred McDavid <frm@bitdaddy.com>]

Debian and GIS.  It's like chocolate and peanut-butter...and maybe some beer 
and super-models...who like me...but I digress.

I'd like to throw out there that ossim should definitely make the list.

Also, how does one handle situations like the one that exists with php and 
mapserver.  Mapserver requires php be compiled to use the system regex.  I 
assume this breaks things with some php setups out there (although, for all I 
know, it may not impact end-users at all).  Do you have to maintain second 
versions of php (and any other software with similar situations)?  Dropping 
php-mapscript would be an option, but a bad one, in my opinion.

What do people that know do in situations like this? If this is documented 
somewhere, a url would be good enough.  I don't mind R'ing FM's...I'm just 
not sure how to search for or properly describe this sort of situation.

Regards,

--Fred
